Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning. I welcome everyone to the 17th meeting in 2022 of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on whether to take agenda items 4, 5 and 6 in private. Do members agree to take those items in private?

On the item on consent in relation to United Kingdom Parliament bills, I want to clarify that that relates just to the letter and not to all future consents to bills that we might consider.

I can confirm that. Even if that were the intention at this stage, we could still overrule that at a later meeting in order to hold in public an evidence session or, indeed, our consideration.

Are members content to take agenda items 4, 5 and 6 in private?

Members indicated agreement.
